Children’s Literature at the Turn of the Century: Political Economy of the Publishing Industry

Joel Taxel University of Georgia

Abstract

This essay outlines the beginnings of a political economy of the children’s literature publishing industry. Central to the analysis is a consideration of the continuing commodification of children’s literature, the increase in the licensing and merchandizing of characters from children’s books and popular films, and the proliferation of series books that have assumed the status of brand names comparable to other commercial commodities.
